Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented DQ14 914.

Application filed March 15, 1913. Serial No. 754,581.

To all whom it may concern i' This invention relates to an improvement upon the ironing board, for which patent was granted me August 15, 1905, Number 797,006, the object being to improve the general construction, to provide new and novel means for connecting the sleeve board in place. and also for bracing and connecting the supporting legs.

The invention consists in the novel features of construction hereinafter described, pointed out in the claims and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the ironing board in position for use. Fig. 2 is a side elevation showing the same partly fold ed. Fig. 3 is an inverted plan view, the parts being shown in folded position. Fig. 4 is a transverse section through the sleeve board and the ironing board, the same being in position for use.

In these drawings, 1 represents the ironing board and to the underside and adjacent the rear end of the same I secure blocks 2 spaced apart and having upon their outer faces a recessed beveled portion 3 to which portion I pivot a pair of supportin legs 4. These supporting legs are adapte to be folded upon the underside of the board 1 and the rear wall of the recess forms a stop when they are thrown into unfolded posithe remainder of the construction and when this standard is swung into upright position so as to bear against the rear end of the ironing board it forms a supporting standard for the sleeve board. This link has an outwardly projecting lug 9, and the sleeve board is bifurcated at its rear end to loosely fit said lug,-to which it is pivoted. When the standard 7 is shifted into upright position and the sleeve board is swung into horizontal position, that is parallel to the ironing board 1 the sleeve board will rest .upon the upper end of the standard 7 which will form a firm support for the sleeve board. To one of the blocks 2 I pivot a button 10 which is adapted to be swung transversely across the space between the blocks. When so swung it will form a stop adapted to be engaged by a notch 11 cut in the center supporting leg 5. thus preventing said supporting leg from collapsing while the board is in use. the brace 6 not being, entirely depended upon to hold the parts in proper position.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that I have provided an ironing board which is provided with folding legs which are so arranged that when in an upright position, the board will be held in a very rigid position.

What I claim is:

1. The combination with an ironing board, blocks spaced apart secured upon the under face of said ironing board, a central leg consisting of strips spaced apart, said central leg being pivoted between said blocks. side legs pivoted to said blocks. a brace pivoted between the strips forming the central leg. a standard pivoted between said strips and adapted when thrown into upright position to engage the rear edge of the ironing board. and a button pivotally cohnected to one of said blocks and movable into position across the space between said blocks.

2. The combination with an ironing board. blocks spaced apart and secured upon the underside of the ironing board, recesses having beveled walls being cut into the outer faces of said blocks, side legs pivoted in said recesses. a center l'eg pivoted between Q uense said blocks, said center leg being formed of tween said strips adjacent the rear end of 1splaced apart:i a brace pivoted hand the central leg and spacing them apart. 0 a e etween sai strips, sai strips ava ing notches cut therein, a button pivoted to ASHE-R LANGWORTHY' 5 one of the blocks and adapted to bridge the Witnesses:

space between the blocks and to be engaged B. D. HARRISON, by said notches, and a standard pivoted be- A. P. ,EYMANN.
